Family left with nothing after fire

FAMILY IN URGENT NEED AFTER DEVASTATING HOUSE FIRE LAST NIGHT IN NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ

This is going to sound like a bad dream, so just hang on. Our close family friend’s apartment located on Georges Rd in North Brunswick was completely devastated by a house fire last night. The entire family plus their dog Tanchito were forced to jump out of the 2nd story window just to survive. Amanda and Ismael both suffered injuries during the jump that will both require surgery and Ismael will not be able to work for at least 2-3 months. He has 2 children and is currently left wondering how he will be able to provide for them.

Amanda’s  15 year old son, Edward, is nearing the end of a long battle with cancer and their life was finally starting to come back to normal. The mother was set to go back to work in 1-2 months and unfortunately that will now be delayed due to her surgery due to a broken leg

They literally have NOTHING left. Both cars in the picture are presumably totaled or very close to it. All clothes, toys, memories…everything gone. The only things they have left are their lives.

 My goal is to raise this family in need of desperate help $100,000 or more to not only re-establish their lives, provide them with housing, but also gain some positive momentum. They have been dealt a few very bad breaks recently and hopefully this is the last one. 

To all supporters: Just a quick update. Eliud Hernandez Garcia, who is the father of those affected in the fire, has been set-up and added as the beneficiary. He will be withdrawing the funds and once received he will be giving 40% of the donations to Ismael Hernandez who was staying with the family for a couple of nights and also affected.

Ismael had surgery on 4/24 and will be out of work for 2-3 months. The donations will greatly help him and his family in their time of need. Amanda had her 2nd surgery on Monday 5/8 and is currently recovering.

In the coming weeks there will be another bake sale outside of Summerhill Cleaners in East Brunswick to continue to try and raise donations to help the family.

Thanks for all of your continued generosity and support. The family greatly appreciates it.
